It seems that in the anonymous email that was sent to me, the user's apostrophes weren't formatted correctly, and turned into "'". Otherwise, I like the service!

Same article, but reformatted to make it easier to read (for me at least): http://www.readability.com/articles/ikavpsvz

One minor problem I found is that when commenting, the submit button shouldn't actually submit if the captcha is blank -- otherwise the entire comment gets lost as the page is reloaded. Otherwise, the site looks great!
Re:Compromised Linode, thousands of BitCoins stolen on Thursday March 01, 2012 @10:10PM (#3655168)
Could this have been a vulnerability in Lish, which can be run from a browser using Linode's AJAX console?

I've completely ruined networking and disabled root logins on a Linode VPS, but could still access that same VPS as root using Lish.

This doesn't lower the temperature of a nuclear reactor or any heat source. The new material will still experience an increase in temperature, and the same amount of heat will still be released into the environment.

This is a third-party application that allows you to export your data. It was not created by Facebook.
Re: Ask HN: Review the prerelease demo of my new web app on Friday April 15, 2011 @10:40AM (#2450681)
It logs data from people rather than sensors, and displays maps, charts, and feeds with that data.
Re:The Wall Street Leviathan on Monday April 11, 2011 @10:09PM (#2435504)
I read it more as "The six most profitable financial institutions in the US now account for 55 percent of all banking assets" which makes sense to me.
